Building map with UAS data

Orthomosaic, DSM, DEM

DSM stands for digital surface model and DEM stands for digital elevation model. The main difference lies in the content I captured. DSMs include all surface features (both natural and artificial), while DEMs specifically focus on representing the elevation of the bare Earth's surface,

When using the swipe tool to compare orthomosaic and DSM, I could notice how the orthomosaic aligns with the underlying terrain features depicted in the shaded relief of the DSM. The orthomosaic and the shaded relief of the DSM provide different perspectives of the same area. The orthomosaic will show the actual visual appearance of the landscape, including objects, buildings, roads, etc., while the DSM shaded relief will reveal the underlying elevation variations that influence the terrain's appearance in the orthomosaic.


Building the map with UAS data

 I made three types of the map(shaded DSM with transparent DSM on top, orthomosaic map and orthomosaic map with a reference grid based on UAS data(Wolfpaving_X5). I included  North Arrow, Scale Bar, Locator Map, watermark, metadata.


Shaded DSM with transparent DSM on top.

        I included north arrow, scale bar, locator map inset showing the location of Wolf Paving within the state of Wisconsin, watermark and metadata on this map.

Orthomosaic 

        In orthomosaic map I didn't need a locator map but I needed to have a locator that shows the location of each GCP as a point. and then I put a detailed zoomed in inset for each of those points.


Orthomosaic with a reference greed

        I added the reference greed to orthomosaic map that I made

Final project(UAS data mapping mission)

Image
Required for the mission:         Mobile device with supporting mission planning software          A UAS Platform/Sensor of your choice I was asked to fly an assigned mission plot at PWA with this parameter. Altitude: 122m Lateral and Frontal Overlap: 80% Use the search function to find and open the Add Z Information (3D Analyst Tools) tool. This tool calculates properties of 3D shapes and appends the result to the attribute table of the input feature class. In this step, you will calculate the length of each sight line. Set the following parameters: Input Features: LOS_Lines Output Property: 3-Dimensional Length      The purpose of this project is to conduct a UAV mission to collect aerial imagery and data for a specific area at PWA(Purdue wildlife Area). The mission area has been assigned and the goal was to fly the assigned mission area while ensuring that the flight boundaries are slightly larger than the assigned area to ensure complete coverage. The Pilot(Jinwook paek) and my v

Volumetric analysis with UAS Data

Image
In a previous lab, I completed some ESRI tutorials regarding raster data analysis. This time, I engaged in raster data analysis using UAS data gathered over the course of a mine dredging operation. I needed to draw upon what I've learned in the ESRI tutorials so far. ·        Extract by mask This tool extracts the cells of a raster that correspond to the areas defined by a mask. The mask is typically a raster dataset where cells with a certain value represent the areas I want to extract. ·          Resample Resampling is the process of changing the resolution of a raster dataset. ·          Surface volume The Surface Volume tool calculates the volume between two surfaces. I began on the 4 th of July to where the mine operation tells of the dredging to take place, and for me to establish a base dataset to know how much material was added. They are also concerned about slope failure and low lying flat areas where water will collect. Because the area flown is pretty large,

Performing Line of Sight Analysis by Esri Use the search function to find and open the Construct Sight Lines (3D Analyst Tools) tool. In the Geoprocessing pane, set the following parameters: Observer Points: Observers Target Features: ParadeRoute Output: ..\EsriTraining\ProLineSight\MyData\MyData.gdb\ SightLines Observer Height Field: SHAPE.Z Target Height Field: SHAPE.Z Sampling Distance:  30 Use the search function to find and open the Line Of Sight (3D Analyst Tools) tool. Set the following parameters: Input Surface: Elevation Input Line Features: SightLines Input Features: Buildings_subset Output Feature Class: ..\EsriTraining\ProLineSight\MyData\MyData.gdb\ LOS_Lines Use the search function to find and open the Add Z Information (3D Analyst Tools) tool.
